are you using self to refer to something ridiculous? otherwise, your perceptions and memory and body is your self.

"I exist" is an axiomatic statement. It cannot be argued, because, to argue it, you must first assume it is true. It must be true.

I think that fag meant it in a wittgenstanian sense: you can't doubt about something you can't know. You don't "know" your self, you ARE your self.

Define "Self" and define "exist"

I can argue with you all day on different definitions for those, but until we agree on one, we'll just be talking over each other
